But yeah, France is hardly a 'third world country'. Pretty sure she would choose North Korea over Quebec. 15 minutes ago, hlinkas wrister said: The thought of Preston Manning being our PM was a little terrifying frankly. Thank god Stockwell rode in on his jet-ski and put those nightmares to bed. Ya the old "jet ski stock." The direction of the Ottawa river sure caused him some grief. Tbh I actually really like Stockwell Day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 18 years later she still hadn't filed for citizenship or immigrant status? Sorry lady, rules are rules. Ya I know this will turn in to a "they can walk across the border" argument if it hasn't already (yay ignore button) but the fact is, she could have at any time in 2 decades simply filed the paperwork. She'll get to stay, that's almost inarguable at this point but you don't get to pick and choose who the rules apply to in an argument. She could have filed. She didn't. Now she has to deal with the paperwork 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I've been to Montreal and Quebec City. Quebec City is more postcard. But the attitude there is something else. Montreal I actually liked. Because you can survive on both English and French, and is more international. Anywhere in Canada is a million times better than North Korea.

I won't argue with that at all. But after 2 decades it is impossible to fault anyone but the person at issue. Immigration consultants are as bad as politicians and real estate agents in the sense they are literally all only there for the same reason and it's never ever for the person. After 2 decades she should have filed, she admits as a child it even sounded fishy to her but never once looked in to it? While I feel for her there has to be some personal onus on getting something done. I certainly would not move to France with my kids, have them hang out for 18 years and expect that nothing would ever come up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting because Mexicans do thus in the US and aren't you one of the ones so angry at the thought of them going home? I guess the government of the day factors into your decision?

I know the photo op. No he bungled that question so ofcourse the east attacked him saying he wasn't out there enough. Meanwhile now we have a PM that doesn't even mention the greatest province on Canada's 150th birthday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 It's a shame that immigrants getting taken advantage of by 'consultants' otherwise I am sure they would do the proper work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirotashi Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Its hard to feel sorry for someone like this when there are soo soo many people that get turned away with less grounds, heartbreak and tears for people who get denied, and overstays are the worst offenders.

RUPERTKBD Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I'm going to go against the trend here.... I believe that at a certain point of paying taxes and contributing to the Canadian economy, there should be a path towards citizenship. it's easy for us to sit back and say "too bad, so sad.....she should have followed the rules", but I don't see how any of the parties involved are served by sending a contributing member of Canadian society to a country she hasn't lived in for almost 2 decades. And yes, I thought this way before I saw her photo... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the rules apply differently depending on who you are. It's very telling that her lawyer is banking on a "humanitarian and compassionate application." She should be on the next flight to France. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All (or some) earnings are declared and taxable. Would that person be allowed a path to citizenship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
